Ray, I just checked and my tcbxinit.cui file is different than yours is, I have
not made any changes to mine at all, it's just the way it came with the
download, so I don't know how that will effect you, the line in mine related to
the book goes:

pgnbook <book.pgn

As much as I like TCB's style of playing Chess, I have not spent enough time
with it to know the program real well, I need to sit down with it and make it
work with tablebases too, that shouldn't be too hard (I hope)

Pete
